I am telling a story about a boy who turned into a barbet bird. Here is a story that everyone should listen to. We should listen to this story carefully and feel it from our hearts, then should follow the attitude and change our mindset. A long time ago, a man had a beautiful lady, and they married to become a family. They both loved each other so much as the wife was gorgeous, and the husband was fond of her dearly. The couple worked on a farm for their livelihood so that they to and fro happily to their farm. After that, they had a baby boy. They loved their son so much and brought him up well. They lived their lives and worked joyfully to become a happy family. The boy grew up steadily, and he reached the age that he could help his parents. When they went to and fro their farm, the boy helped them carry axes, knives, and small wood logs. He grew up at that kind of age. Unfortunately, when their family went for working to their farm, the mother was sick severely one day. They were at their farm while the mother was very unwell, so no neighbors were around them. They were only by themselves. There were no friends to ask around. When they were only three of them, the mother got sick shockingly. On that day, the wife, who was so beautiful and loved by her husband dearly, passed away. The mother who loved her son so much died that the father and the son sadly buried her at the head of their farm. The father and the son returned home. However, the father had an undone job on their farm, and it was where his wife was buried, and he went there every day whether he had a job to do or not. The father went up and down to the farm and his house daily. The man could not stand alone if he lost his wife. No one would cook, clean the kitchen, and do the house chores for him. His child was a boy, so they needed a woman to cook and prepare the dishes. So the father got a woman. He loved that woman so much and married her again. The father took his new wife to the farm where they used to work. They cleared the farm out and left it like that. They made straw and hay for their living and continued making those like before. The second wife also had a baby. That baby was a boy too. The baby boy also grew up gradually. Since the stepmother had her own son, she did not like the son from the first wife anymore. She did not dare to say that she did not like the first son of his father as she was afraid of him. Therefore, she took out her ideas. The child she was born with and the child from the first wife knew the way from their farm to their house. Yellow beans were the kind of plants that were easy to grow and fast to be raised when we planted them. One day, the stepmother asked them to plant yellow beans for both sons. The stepmother did dry fry for a pot full of beans. Afterwards, she fried the beans to make them cook and passed them to the first wife's son. Then, she gave her son raw beans and asked them, "You two brothers. Take these bags each." "You take your bag and plant them on your farm separately. You wait there, and you can only come back to me when your bean plants grow." The two brothers did as their mother told them. They went to their farm bringing their own portion of a lot of beans, and the young brother said, "Ah Ba, you take that half, and I take this half part." They divided the farm, and they planted the yellow bean seeds that their mother gave them. After they had planted them, they waited for the seeds to grow. The two brothers waited for when the yellow bean seeds would grow first. On day one, the plants did not come out yet. They thought the plants could almost come out on day two. They both thought the plants would come out soon. On day three, they hoped that the plants would nearly reach the surface to come out very soon. On day four, they thought, "Oh, now is the time for the plants to come out." They called each other, "Let's go and wait beside them." They sat and waited for whose one would come out first so he could go home first. At last, while they were expecting the plants to come out at their farms, they did not grow from the first son's farm. The yellow bean plants from the second son's farm started growing. The second brother, who was born by his stepmother, told him, "Ah Ba, my yellow bean plants were grown out. So I'll go back ahead." Then he went home. The younger brother went back home peacefully and stayed with his parents. His father asked him, "Where is your big brother?" He replied, "Ah Ba doesn't come home yet as his plants do not come out yet." "No need to worry about him. He will come back soon." The father knew his elder son was on the farm waiting for the plants to grow. After the young brother returned home, the big brother waited and waited for the plants to grow day after day, but they did not come out. On the second day, the plants did not come out. After passing the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day, the plants did not grow. He waited and waited until he was starving.
The boy passed away on his farm due to hunger while he waited for the bean plants to grow out, and they never came out. Before he died, he missed his mother and was hungry, so he called out to his mother, "Mommy. Mommy." Then, he cried and passed away.
As he was starving and missed his mother so much, then died, and he cried out from his heart to his mom, "Mommy. Mommy," and passed away, he became a bird after he died. So we called a barbet bird as the bird sounded, "Changau! Changau!" That was the sound of the orphan boy's crying.
